Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) issued the wrong statement on Hurricane Helene, Monday – instead sending out an email on “childhood genital mutilation.”
“Rep. Nancy Mace Statement on Hurricane Helene,” read the email sent out by Mace’s communications team, only for the body of the email to be completely devoid of any mention of the hurricane.
The email instead contained a statement about Mace introducing the “Childhood Genital Mutilation Prevention Act,” which would ban gender transition surgeries and procedures for anyone under the age of 18:
CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY MACE INTRODUCES THE “CHILDHOOD GENITAL MUTILATION PREVENTION ACT”… (Washington, D.C. September 30th, 2024) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced the “Childhood Genital Mutilation Prevention Act,” a bill designed to protect our children from irreversible procedures with devastating and permanent consequences to their health and wellbeing.
“Our children are not guinea pigs in the radical left’s dangerous social experimentation,” said Congresswoman Mace. “Only 12–27% of children with gender dysphoria carry it into adulthood, yet irreversible therapies and surgeries are far too available in the U.S. The genital mutilation of young bodies under the guise of progressivism is sick and protecting our children means saying no to this lunacy.”
The blunder went viral on social media, with Business Insider senior politics reporter Bryan Metzger tweeting, “Some technical difficulties over at Rep. Nancy Mace’s office.”
“Mace’s office has one of the highest rates of turnover in all of Congress and is well known for having a toxic work environment. One side effect of this is that hiring competent staffers becomes a challenge,” weighed in another social media user.
Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc over the weekend, killing at least 132 people across six states, including 29 in Mace’s state of South Carolina.
Out of the eleven social media posts made by Mace on Monday, just one addressed Hurricane Helene.
“Our hearts are heavy as we pray for the 25 lives lost in South Carolina because of Hurricane #Helene,” she wrote.
On Monday, the congresswoman also published five posts about the southern border, two about transgenderism in schools, and two attacking the sheriff of Charleston.
Mace received criticism on Sunday for making a “tone deaf” post at the beach amid the ongoing destruction from Hurricane Helene.
“You can’t beat a #SundaySunset on the beach! Send your #SundaySunset in,” she tweeted.
